trance of Utah into the trotting circuit
each years races here have attracted
growing inter est. 1t is desirable that
should be SO. n PRE- is perhaps no spor
more generally admired or which s.
universally excites commentator, TO
the reason that it shows the develop
ment made in an animal that is NOR
than useful while it affords lasting
pleasure. There is every reason to be
lieve that the approaching season
races will be among the most interest
ing ever held here. We have L. G. Lee
the Utah PAGER, who has made RECORD
of 2.17H this season in Denver, anC
whose possibilities are still coEjectural
| There are here also and again pitteC
against him the flyers that forced him
under the Denver wire at such terrific
gait. Up from this range an infinilude
of records, while there is a sufficient in
fusion of new blood to give the races
the air of uncertainty which unknown
material ALWAYS contributes and which
is the very life of racing. There may
be some startling developments during
the meet, and those who make it a
business to note the manner IN which
the horses work out On mornings leave
the track with their heads full of uncer-
tain speculations as q result of their
pains.
Already there are over fifty horses
here, and the prospects are for more.
The trotting and pacing entries are
closed The running entries close each
night preceding the next days running
contests. What the entries will
be in these remains to be seen,
and it is not, therefore, IN
likely that there will be accessions of
horses here before the races begin.

ing showed the inmates all TO be in ex-
cellent condition. The following will
